Jury-Law books

I beg you to take this
book and show it to my lord, the king, and to all the good
knights so that they may know about the order of chivalry. And
when you return, I pray you, my son, come by here and tell me who
have been made new knights, and about all the celebrations and
festivities that take place, so that I will know about them, and
I will be very grateful to you."
And he gave him the book, taking his leave at the same time.
Tirant took the book with great joy, giving him many thanks and
promising to return, and Tirant said, as he left:
"Tell me, my lord: if the king or the other knights ask me who is
sending the book, what shall I say?"
The hermit answered:
"If you are asked such a question, say that it was someone who
has always loved and honored the order of chivalry."
Tirant bowed deeply to him, mounted his horse, and went on his
way.
Meanwhile his companions were wondering what could have become of
him and why he was delayed. They were afraid that he might have
become lost in the forest, and many of them turned back to look
for him.
